Terms of Service

Worth the Dock is a directory of iPhone and iPad apps. You can browse it without an account. To vote, submit an app or buy a promotion, you sign in with your email. Keep your inbox safe: anyone with access to it can sign in as you.

Don’t use the site to spam, scrape it at scale, manipulate votes (with bots, fake accounts or paid votes), or break the law.

• Only list apps you make or have the right to promote. You confirm that what you submit is accurate and yours to share.
• App names, icons, screenshots and descriptions come from the App Store and belong to their owners. By listing an app, you let us show them on Worth the Dock, in our emails and on social media to promote your listing.
• Every app is reviewed by a person. We can decline, edit for formatting, or remove any listing, including ones that mislead, copy another app, or break App Store rules.
• Free listings need our badge on your website. If you remove the badge later, the listing can lose its verified mark and followed link.
• Free accounts can list up to 3 apps. Pro accounts can list more.
• Votes and rankings come from the community and can’t be bought.

Packages and sponsored spots run on the dates shown when you buy them, starting no earlier than your app’s launch. Sponsored spots are always labeled “Sponsored”. Links in paid listings are marked rel="sponsored". We don’t promise a number of views, clicks or downloads.

Pro renews every month or year until you cancel. You can cancel any time from Your Apps; Pro stays on until the end of the period you paid for.

If your app is removed for breaking these terms, unused promotion time isn’t refunded. If we remove it for any other reason, we refund the unused part.

Payments are handled by Polar, our merchant of record. Polar charges your card, adds VAT or sales tax where required and sends your receipt, under its own terms.

If a promotion hasn’t started yet, write to hello@worththedock.com within 14 days of buying and we’ll refund it in full. Once a spot has started, or a review has been fast-tracked, it can’t be refunded, because it has been delivered. If something went wrong on our side, tell us and we’ll make it right.

We email you about your account and your listings, such as sign-in links and review results. The weekly newsletter is only sent if you sign up and confirm, and every issue has a one-click unsubscribe link.

The site is provided as it is. We work to keep it accurate and available, but we can’t guarantee it is error-free or always online. Apps listed here are made by others: download and use them under their own terms. To the extent the law allows, our total liability to you is limited to what you paid us in the last 12 months.

You can ask us to delete your account and listings at any time. We can suspend accounts that break these terms. See the Privacy Policy for what happens to your data.

If we change these terms in a way that matters, we’ll update the date above and, for big changes, email account holders. Questions: hello@worththedock.com.
